Meet the First Openly Gay President of the American Conference of Cantors

Mark Goldman is the first openly gay president of the American Conference of Cantors

For 19 years, the congregants of Temple Kol Ami Emanu-El have heard the tenor of their cantor’s voice carry over the sanctuary, singing Hebrew blessings and ushering in Shabbat after a week of work.

Mark Goldman, the cantor of the reform Jewish temple in Plantation, not only has lead services week after week, but now will play a role on the national level as the president of the American Conference of Cantors — and its first openly gay one at that.
